microsoft bought minecraft

Count me in too, I will be dual wielding M590's.

 

Lock and load

Ok game plan @phantamanta44 flys over with his helicopter and let's out @whitemagnum , @BrawlerAce_ and @ShadowCaster3000 as they jump onto the roof. They blow a hole in at and jump in and start attacking through the top to bottom. Wile that's happening all of @starbo1034 's friend charge through the front door at the bottom and work their way to the top. Wile that's happening me and starbo will camp at a close building to the side and make it easer for the team to get to the top by sniping.

GGNORE we win.

 

I Think microsoft can buy who they want they have so much money and mojang is just trying to make money.

 

this is a good thing since microsoft does not enforce their software rules there is now no eula

 

You don't know that for sure.

 

true

 

Today my friend made a point saying "remember the last time Microsoft bought a good gaming company?" And "Microsoft only made the xbox one so they could get more money then everyone relised that the xbox one was the worst gaming console

 

I can get some air support, I have a military base a half hour away that 2 of my friends dads work at. My friends will fly in and drop some incendiary bombs while i jump out and provide some explosives support

 

That's not what Notch's intention was, his real one was...

I don’t see myself as a real game developer. I make games because it’s fun, and because I love games and I love to program, but I don’t make games with the intention of them becoming huge hits, and I don’t try to change the world. Minecraft certainly became a huge hit, and people are telling me it’s changed games. I never meant for it to do either. It’s certainly flattering, and to gradually get thrust into some kind of public spotlight is interesting.

A relatively long time ago, I decided to step down from Minecraft development. Jens was the perfect person to take over leading it, and I wanted to try to do new things. At first, I failed by trying to make something big again, but since I decided to just stick to small prototypes and interesting challenges, I’ve had so much fun with work. I wasn’t exactly sure how I fit into Mojang where people did actual work, but since people said I was important for the culture, I stayed.

I was at home with a bad cold a couple of weeks ago when the internet exploded with hate against me over some kind of EULA situation that I had nothing to do with. I was confused. I didn’t understand. I tweeted this in frustration. Later on, I watched the This is Phil Fish video on YouTube and started to realize I didn’t have the connection to my fans I thought I had. I’ve become a symbol. I don’t want to be a symbol, responsible for something huge that I don’t understand, that I don’t want to work on, that keeps coming back to me. I’m not an entrepreneur. I’m not a CEO. I’m a nerdy computer programmer who likes to have opinions on Twitter.

As soon as this deal is finalized, I will leave Mojang and go back to doing Ludum Dares and small web experiments. If I ever accidentally make something that seems to gain traction, I’ll probably abandon it immediately.

Considering the public image of me already is a bit skewed, I don’t expect to get away from negative comments by doing this, but at least now I won’t feel a responsibility to read them.

I’m aware this goes against a lot of what I’ve said in public. I have no good response to that. I’m also aware a lot of you were using me as a symbol of some perceived struggle. I’m not. I’m a person, and I’m right there struggling with you.

I love you. All of you. Thank you for turning Minecraft into what it has become, but there are too many of you, and I can’t be responsible for something this big. In one sense, it belongs to Microsoft now. In a much bigger sense, it’s belonged to all of you for a long time, and that will never change.

It’s not about the money. It’s about my sanity.

2.5 billion dollars is a lot i would of sold minecraft just saying.

 

I hate how Bill Gates bought other cheap companies for like 7 billion and minecraft for 2.5 billion.
